Discription：FGF-8 （FGF-8b） is a heparin-binding growth factor belonging to the FGF family. Proteins of this family play a central role during prenatal development, postnatal growth and regeneration of a variety of tissues, by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. There are 4 known alternate spliced forms of FGF8 （FGF-8A, 8B, 8E and 8F） . The human and murine FGF-8A and B are identical, unlike human and mouse FGF-8E and F, which are 98％ identical. FGF-8 targets mammary carcinoma cells and other cells expressing the FGF receptors. Recombinant Human/Murine FGF-8 （FGF-8b） is a 22.5kDa protein consisting of 194 amino acid residues.
